Need awesome sauce bar tape

Like the title says, need me some awesome sauce bar tape. Crazy (but non-clashing) colors, weird graphics, whatever. Need to give them some panache instead of the lame black I currently use. This is for a 2001 Trekk 2200, blue and yellow paint scheme with chrome/silver color 105 components all the way around. The handlebars and stem are a graphite color. Already have one each blue and yellow water bottle holders as well.

I've used their cloth tape before, it's has a minimal foam under the fabric so it has some comfort (I can't speak on their other tapes). The fabric tape does get dirty easily but cleans easily with soapy water

I just bought some tape from these guys for my gravel bike. Maybe this fits with your idea of "crazy colors...weird graphics, whatever"... https://www.cycologyclothing.com/collections/bartape
